Mudras Again: Eight More Mudras for Health Benefits
There are five elements in our body: fire, water, air, earth and space (ether). The five fingers of our hand represent these five elements, thumb – fire, index finger – air, middle finger – space, ring finger – earth and little finger – water respectively. Imbalances in these elements cause diseases. Mudras can balance these elements and thus they promote health.
Many people wrote to me that they had been relieved of many diseases with the mudras. They asked me to write about more mudras. I did more research on mudras for them and I am writing this article based on that. Here are eight more mudras for wonderful health benefits.
1. Akash Mudra – Space:
Method: Join the tips of middle finger with the tips of thumb while remaining three fingers keeping stretched.

There are many sources for the uses of yoga and meditation for health.
In the last 20 years, meditation has been studied in clinical trials as a way of reducing stress on both the mind and body. According to the NIH National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine regular meditation can reduce chronic pain, anxiety, high blood pressure, cholesterol, substance abuse, post-traumatic stress syndrome and blood cortisol levels that are increased by stress.
Mudras are part of yoga and they can be very helpful for health. Research is still being undertaken on these yoga techniques.
Some people think that it is a placebo effect. I myself am an eye witness for many people who are relieved from several health hazards. Anyway it is your decision to practice or not.

Alexa, if it is difficult to stay for 15 minutes try taking breaks every 5 minutes.
Judy, it is very happy to hear you got benefited from these.
Moses, at first it is difficult but once you start you will be used to them. It takes around 2 months for you to see the results depending on each person.

Dear friend, I have a back pain problem. According to MRI, There is a retrolisthesis of L5 over S1. I tried gyan mudra, Akash Mudra and Vayu Gyan Mudra etc. Nothing helps me. Instead my pain and depression both are increased. Now I will start Mohasir Mudra which has been described for Back pain oon this very web page.
Can anybody help me to get rid of this problem without surgery?
For Gods sake help me. I am in this problem for the last seven years

valli | Oct 29, 2008 | Reply
Priya, sorry for late reply as I missed ur comment. Regular practice of Surya Mudra, Maha Sacral Mudra, Bhujangasana (Cobra pose) and Gomukhasana (Cow face pose)help you in relieving all types of menstrual problems. In addition to that take vitamin and protein rich diet and sleep for at least seven hours.
Priya | Oct 31, 2008 | Reply
Hi valli,
can you pls guide me as to how ashwini mudra and yoni mudra is done?Also, how gomukhasana is performed?
valli | Oct 31, 2008 | Reply
Priya, Form an almond shape with joined thumbs extended upwards while the remaining fingers are joined at tips extended downwards, this is called Yoni Mudra. You can see the image over yoga websites.
The following is the procedure of Gomukhasana (Cow Face pose):
1. Sit in a comfortable position.
2. Lift your right arm and bring it behind your back.
3. Bend the left arm to hold onto the fingers of the right arm from behind.
4. Slowly try to pull the arms and maintain this position for 1 or 2 minutes.
5. Relax and repeat this with the other hand.
Aswini Mudra: 1. Close the eyes and relax the whole body.
2. Become aware of the natural breathing process for a few minutes, and then take the awareness to the anus.
3. Contract the sphincter muscles of the anus for a few seconds without straining, then relax them for a few seconds.
4. Try to confine the action to the anal area. Repeat the practice for as long as possible. Contraction and relaxation should be performed smoothly and rhythmically. Gradually make the contractions more rapid.
Remember, Aswini Mudra is very powerful and can cause problems like overheat in body, severe headache, severe constipation etc. So practice this only for some time (one or two months), or until to get relief from the problem. Don’t practice it too often. This is applicable to all mudras and asanas, as they enhance energy channels, the severe and careless practice can cause severe health problems. So if you have a problem, practice the required mudra or asana for the specific time (2 months or 3 months etc). Time limit for Yoni Mudra is 7 min, for Gomukhasana 5 min and for Aswini Mudra is 3 min daily.If you get cured, then stop practicing it.

Hi Valli,
My wife suffers from loss of use and deformation of her fingers in her left hand, curling into a fist. Her fingers also have a slight tremor. Her hand has lost all strength and is also affecting her left leg. The doctors say it is a form of Parkinsons. We went for Herbal treatment and were told that it does not look like parkinsons. We have medication from the herbal for the strength but it may take a long time to see any results.
Do you have any suggestions?
valli | Nov 5, 2008 | Reply
Sampan, though herbal medication takes long time to cure, it is advisable for permanent cure. Even mudras and yoga therapies take long time to cure, but they give permanent redemption.

To Shikha, and any one who thinks alike, Mudras are NOT Magic. Neither are they anything supernatural. They are just exercises that activate various parts of the body. To know which mudra can help in what way, refer to the article above, and the previous article of mine on mudras.

Prasanna Mudra: Keep hand near the chest. Rub the nails of the eight fingers against each other for 5 to 10 minutes for 30 days. The thumbs should be straight.

Sorry for the late response as I was out of station for the last 30 days.
Anand, thanks for your nice comment.
Rose, try Prithvi Mudra, Vyan Mudra and Jalodar Nashak or Jal-shaamak Mudra (Place the little finger on the base of the thumb and press it with thumb while the remaining three fingers are stretched). There is no need to chant religious texts while doing mudras.
Alnoor1616, Gyan Mudra for depression, Vayu Mudra for Arthritis, Apana Mudra for diabetes and Apana Vayu Mudra for shoulder pain, and these are beneficial to your mother. Your mother can practice all these mudras one by one regularly as she is suffering from many health problems. Mudras have flexibility, there is no specific posture and time to practice. There is no harm in doing these. In addition, they are beneficial in relieving many health problems.
Sandeep, Gyan Mudra is very helpful for your problems.
Lalitha, try Anjali Mudra and asanas like Tadasana, Kakasana, Uttanasana, Bharadvajasana, Hastasana, Half-garudasana and Virabhadrasana. Add Vitamin B6 enriched food in your diet. Also massage your wrist with mint oil for 5 minutes daily for a couple of months.

Valli,
Hats off to you for sharing your knowledge with the others, selflessly!
My qn is – If we do certain mudras one after the other, do they have a nullifying effect? Like, if I do Prithvi mudra first for 30 min, then switch over to Jnana mudra or Surya mudra, would that be redirecting the energy from the parts where it was originally sent by Prithvi mudra, hence giving null effect to Prithvi mudra?

hi Valli,
am 29, one weak before diagnosed as Diabetic.I had suffered a lot in my 1st marriage one year ago. my marriage ended in a day. My parents tried a lot to solemnise but not useful. that person use to beat me , burnt my legs, kept me in house arrest, at last went they tried to burn me i ran.
all these happened when my parents left me in my husband home. i don’t know exact problem with my husband but my father-in-law always use to misbehave with me. this is the stress i went.
at that moment only i was having white discharge, but to recognise that as white discharge it took me many months, as I was very ignorant.
My doctor tells that this Diab condition is due to stress, though i always do pranayama my condition is like this. it had been diagonised a week before.
please help me , does this diab condition can be cured permanently?
valli | Jul 24, 2009 | Reply
Shravani, sorry to hear your problem. Don’t worry. Pranayama especially Alternate Nostril Breathing works efficiently for stress. Gyan Mudra is also helpful. Prana Mudra and Apana Mudra are beneficial for diabetes. Also try Trikonasana, Tadasana, Bhujangasana and Surynamaskar. Practice all these yoga techniques daily for at least 30 minutes. Listen good music for relaxation. I think you will be alright within short period.

Dear Valli,
There shud have been a ‘B’ in your name for benevolence!!
Valli, I have been practising mudras for quite sometime now and read a lot on the net too…
I came across an article which detailed the relationship of the five elements with each other….the article stated that we must first increase the earth element in our body if we have to increase the water element and so on….correct me if I am wrong when I say that to counter-act dry skin, we must first hold the prithvi mudra and then the varun mudra one after the other??
Also, which sequence is to be followed on a regular basis….for vata dosha….morning mudra….post lunch mudra….sleep time mudra???
I have also read somewhere that we must regularly practise detoxification mudra…but the chinese practitioners insist on keeping the kidneys healthy…so does the detox mudra (thumb on the inner side of the ring finger) weaken the kidney with an over-load?
It is claimed that the makar mudra helps heal dark circles around the eyes….I want to understand the funda of this mudra…fire and earth together then right thumb in the middle of the left palm…..how does this mudra work?
I am a second degree reiki channel and often recommend mudras to my patients and some of them get instant relief too.
Enlighten me.
Thanx and love,
Karishma
